10. Columbus – Robert Warzycha’s team seems to have some helpful elements in place But two draws in two home matches is not the way to make the playoffs in Major League Soccer. Heck, they needed a second half goal last week just to manage the draw in Ohio against a young bunch from Philadelphia.

9. Vancouver Whitecaps – Thanks to a shoe fiasco, Vancouver was able to grab a road point at San Jose. Lost in the wildness of it all was that Corey Hertzog, member of the 2011 Generation Adidas class, scored in his first Whitecaps’ start.

8. San Jose Earthquakes – How many “Law 4” jokes are careening through the Buck Shaw locker room this week. Oh, well. No time to dwell. Not with a visit into Jeld-Wen Field ahead. Steven Lenhart got back on the field, doing his hustle and bustle thing for 21 minutes in the draw with Vancouver. And Alan Gordon got his first start of 2013.

7. Real Salt Lake – Having lost over the weekend at Colorado, Jason Kreis will hope to get something from the road trip as the club visits Vancouver for a Saturday afternoon contest.

6. Montreal Impact – Another of the handful of teams that were idle for Round 6. The Impact hosts Columbus this week. In the meantime, striker Marco di Vaio says he’d like to finish up his playing days in Montreal. I’m sure they’ll be happy to have him. Well, at the right price, of course.

5. Houston Dynamo – Houston could always win at home. On the road? Well, they tend to do great in the playoffs, but not nearly as well in the regular seasons. Dominic Kinnear’s team has not managed more than three road wins over any of the last three seasons. They’ve traveled twice this year with two losses, including last weekend’s 2-0 defeat in Portland.

4. Chivas USA – After wowing in March, Jose Luis ‘Chelis’ Sanchez Sola and his team had the first weekend of April off. They’ll be at the Home Depot Center again Saturday – the Goats have traveled just once so far in MLS action – against Oscar Pareja’s injury-smacked Colorado Rapids.

3. FC Dallas – The team is surely unhappy about blowing a two-goal lead Saturday at Toronto. On the other hand, most teams will take four points from consecutive road matches (including last week’s win at New England) and go skipping happily away. Blas Perez hit another one Saturday; the man can score so long as he stays on the field.

2. Sporting Kansas City –Claudio Bieler (pictured above) looks like the very man needed around Sporting Park, someone who can’t just score goals, but can score important ones. His late strike against D.C. United helped Peter Vermes’ team take all the points in a 1-0 win Friday … and pushed the reigning Easter Conference champs up the charts here.

1. LA Galaxy – They’ve played just four matches, but LA is the league’s only unbeaten side. Bruce Arena’s team had the weekend off from MLS, the better to prep for Wednesday’s big task down in Mexico. They take a 2-1 deficit into Monterrey, and making up the gap won’t be easy. Omar Gonzalez (Is a DP deal in the works?) and his boys get back to MLS biz on Saturday in a match at FC Dallas on NBC Sports Network.

With the first section labelled “basically, free money” for the picks I think are dead certs. The section labelled “don’t touch this” means if you’re betting I advise you to stay clear, while the “so you’re telling me there’s a chance” section are the longshots. If it is better odds you are after, those are the picks to go for.
